This movie really surprised me. In the beginning it felt like just any feel good movie I was waiting for cliches and wishy washy characters but it ended up becoming a real journey. There were no wasted scenes everything is part of the bigger story that will make you terribly involved in these characters lives. Sota is bubbly and adorable as the Osaka native and Kudo played his character so well, with complexity and charm. I completely fell for him. And the plot about Sotas identity is also done well and it's not predictable.
